Interface Colours

[Salchester]

Can anybody help, as i want to create a interface similar to the image found at the address below. By creating the grey rectangle, with the black border around the outer edges.

Many Thanks.

Somehow that link points back to this thread, and this probably has nothing to do with C++, and I'm just overall very confused.

Hiya,

For some reason the link won't work correctly. Copy and Paste it into your browser as an alternative.

Many Thanks

I see, so you want an API to decorate up a console it seems like. It depends if you're using Linux, Windows, OS-X, etc...

Assuming your using Linux you'd probably want to use the nCurses library for console interfaces. I don't know a windows equivalent or any other equivalent. I find regular console apps to be pretty enough anyways so I don't have any experience with nCurses, but if your a decent C programmer it shouldn't be too hard. Sorry I can't help you more than that.
